Love From The Shadows (Book 2)

The Infamous Hero

Location: Lost Emerald

Time: 1:20 am

I knew it was time and quickly got out of the hideout put my mask on as I go fast walking through the alleys and on my way there I someone in the end of the alley and stopped and put my hand on my knife and said:

-Identify yourself-

I see him standing still and got furious and started going towards him and as I do he completely vanishes leaving no trail and I confused starting looking everywhere but found nothing and after a few seconds of thinking what was going on I started walking again and as see the jail where they keep the slaves in I started sprinting there and got ready to preparation I see the prison and some archers with lanterns and they saw the shadow of me and I quickly got to cover hiding from the guard and he says:

-Who's there?-

I took a deep breath and waited for him to respond or act and after a few second of him starring at my location he said:

-You got until the count of three to get out of there-

I hear him count and waited for him when he counted he decided to come towards me and I sighted the light of the lantern getting closer and closer I grabbed my tomahawk and got out my cover stabbed the guard on his face and picked the lantern from his hand and hit him with it on the head killing him and I said turning the lantern off very quietly:

-Never wander at night alone-

I put the lantern on the floor and started climbing the prison and when I finally reached the top I got inside and see two guards coming my way and I analyze the area and see a little closet and I got inside and waited and started looking through the little holes as I hold my breath and the guards enter the room passing by and I hear their conversation:

-Men what a boring job!-

-Be grateful, we're getting paid more than any other normal job out there just for walking through this prison-

-I guess you're right it's just that sometimes boredom can get in my mind-

-No problem (his voice fading away as they are leaving the room) let's just get this over with I can't wait to spend all the money I earned with my wife and kids-I stepping very gently out of the closet and closing it start entering the prison and going down the stairs very slowly I see the jail room and the prisoners and the guard sleeping with the keys of the cells on his waist I knew I had to get it, as I start sneaking entering the room opening the room the prisoners see me and widened their eyes and I shush them and got close to the cell and said:

-I'm here for you guys so please keep silent as I free you and don't let the kids watch this (their moms start closing their children's eyes)-

I took a deep breath and starting sneaking behind the guard sleeping on a chair I get my dagger out and pulled the chair back making him fall to the ground and I stabbed him on the neck and put my hands on his mouth so he couldn't scream and after a few seconds of him trying to catch his last breath he stopped resisting and died and I get the keys from his waist and unlocked the cells and said:

-Okay, You're out of your cells but not free just yet we got to make our escape so follow me-

Everyone started following me as I go through the stairs but hear the guards from earlier coming our way and I quickly said:

-Everyone back to jail room-

Everyone got to the jail room and hid there until I manage to clean the guards out so I waited for them to come down the stairs and I see the light of their torches getting closer I pulled out my crossbow and tomahawk and took my deep breath and dashed out the door and quickly shot my crossbow killing one guard and throw my tomahawk hitting the other guard in the skull instantly killing him and I pulled out the tomahawk from his head and said:

-Out you go-

I quickly got told everyone in the room to go upstairs and there I got my crossbow and put my rope on the arrow and said:

-Lets go-

Everyone scared I shot the arrow sticking it out of the prison and said:

-Be careful no go!-

No one wanted to go and I took one slave and made him go through it and he got down to safety and quickly flee and I said:

-Now his free-

Everyone agreed to do it and they started getting out and when everyone safely got out and left the area I cut the rope and shot my grappling hook and got the place I shot the arrow and got there and took the arrow and throw it to the sea leaving no trail and some slaves stayed and came towards me and said:

-Thank you stranger if it wasn't for you we would've rotten in their but after we go can we know your name assassin-

I took my mask out and said:

-I'm Reckzy now go I have to get back to my hideout-

They thank me and left the scene and I started sprinting to the hideout and a huge smoke passed right through me and I heard a whisper in my ears:

-Well done Assassin-

I stopped a few seconds and started looking around but no one was there once again so I took off to the hideout, when I got there I got a glass of wine and after I finished drinking it I go to bed and Tanaka was sleep and I get inside the sheets and felt asleep at her side as my mission was done and I was exhausted from the experience...
